Hollywood Week - Update!

Potential Season 7 contestants are in Los Angeles auditioning for top spots in this year’s American Idol competition. Here is some new information from Milajoy/JoesPlace from Idol Forums.

  • The kids are somewhere in Pasadena having their numbers whittled down. Hollywood “week” officially starts today.
  • On Monday, Day 1, half the contestants auditioned. About 24 got a “fast pass” to Thursday’s audition.
  • On, Tuesday, Day 2,  the other half who were flown out a day later auditioned.  Instruments and/or singing with a small band were permitted during these preliminary auditions.
  • Yesterday, Day 3, those not winning a “fast pass” sang again a capella.

I’m hearing there will be no group auditions this year.   Check out yesterday’s spoiler post for a list of contestants rumored to be in LA this week…

Jordin Sparks Album Debut Opens at 119K

Lot’s of chatter on the blog today, about why Jordin Sparks debut album opened with the lowest Soundscan numbers of any winning Idol to date.  She’ll chart this week at #10 on the Billboard 200, selling a total of 119,000 albums.  For more numbers, check out Kirsten’s Idol Sales post.

1. Did a lackluster season begat a lackluster Idol? 

2. Did the producers spend so much time last year pimping guest hosts and their charity event, instead of the contestants, that their winning Idol never had a chance to make an impression on the viewing audience? 

3. Does Jordin’s record just flat out suck?  Well, I finally got a chance to listen to her debut on Rhapsody, and I found most of it pretty bland…

I think it’s a combination of all three, with extry special emphasis on 2. and 3.  

How did Jordin stack up against her fellow Idol winners?  Deets, after the jump…

This week, Season 7 contestants who have made it past auditions with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson are at the Orpheum theater in Hollywood auditioning for the final spots in next year’s competition.
